Postal employees are currently receiving Postal Pulse Surveys in the mail.

It all a part of the 'Employee Engagement' plan. Managers are urged to implement the engagement plan. And guess what, management will be entered into a contest and rewarded for 'engaging' their employees.

Omaha APWU members have had enough of being 'engaged' by Omaha management.

We have been 'engaged' with inappropriate conduct, sexual misconduct, harassment and a hostile work environment by managers and supervisors.

We have been 'engaged' with unsafe working conditions - no training, excessive heat, no emergency action plan training, unsafe ergonomic and work practices, filthy work environments and near fatal work assignments in Omaha facilities.

We have been 'engaged' in prison guard managers and supervisors, who disrespect the employees, new and old, who intimidate and threaten new employees, and who discriminate against employees.

We have been 'engaged' by management cronyism, a management team that protects managers and supervisors that are abusive, engage in sexual misconduct, nepotism, favortism and are literally found guilty in investigations.

We have been 'engaged' by management that engages in unprofessional and inappropriate conduct on the work room floor, who use profanity, who demean employees and who have established themselves as disrespectful and unfit for the position.

NATIONWIDE ABUSES

Omaha is NOT alone. Unions across the nation report the same abusive plant environment. This 'cultural change' has taken place after the gutting of small and mid-size plants across American and the resultant abysmal performance in mail delivery. It appears to be a HQ driven directive to do more with less and beat production out of the employees.

The 'Engage the Employee' plan and the 'Postal Pulse' are yet another is a long history of programs designed to cover up the abuses - programs designed to provide plausible deniability and shift the focus away from abusive and unfit supervisors.

DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE POSTAL PULSE!

DO NOT 'ENGAGE' WITH MANAGEMENT!

Any member who turns in their Postal Pulse surveys to the Union will be entered into a fiscal year end drawing for (5) $100 bills!

From now until the October 2017 general membership meeting, all members who turn in their Postal Pulse surveys will have a chance at the cash award...

It is important to remember among the tools management has used against the employees in the past have been the results of the employee surveys. By twisting the results of these so-called surveys, they have tried to show that employees place less importance on wages and benefits.

"Don't let management take your pulse! Our voices are more powerful when we raise them together, through our union, than when we speak individually with management."- Mark Dimondstein
